Persona, Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment were very adult despite 1/3 to half the cast being teens. Persona 3 and 4 felt like going back to the well and abandoned a lot of the really best aspects of the brand in favor of high school sim features that while they were okay-to-great from game to game, just…

They feel incredibly bland compared to their predecessors.

That hardly matters. It wasn't as good at it as the date sim about pidgeons.

I was just talking to a friend about this. The first is physically in a high school, but uses it a a frame for the horror setting. No attending classes and dating people. The both of the P2 games featured a mixed or older cast, using the murder high school as a launch point but otherwise not really an important…

I have. I hated them. Well, strongly disliked them. They felt incredibly bland and generic (not in soundtrack mind you).

That being said I also think the gameplay and themes of this Persona feel and look better than the last two incarnations. Platformer looking elements, a very rich Lupin-Art Thief and jazzy feel. Also a smaller party.

That is what Batroc the Leaper should have done to survive Marvel Zombies.

I literally swooned. Especially since most trans characters in more wildly known fiction are FtM rather then MtF.

Are you some magical creature here to become e big fucking me for our entertainment? If you are not then you are a failure at life as you have accomplished little else.

I, for one, was unaware any of our sisters or brothers was above scrutiny, especially when acting in problematic ways or by literally acting like a fool. I am sure all of u who are flabbergasted by her inability to grasp what she' doing will smarten up and give her a pass the next time this person, whoever she is,…

I remember you Kiori. I was Shinta.

We did the same but made both posts public. The GM would base it partially on writing skill and partially on creativity. We had a whole dueling system where even if you died, you would win if you had come up with the more interesting posts with a GM making moderation posts setting up the neutral scenario to begin…

Reminds me of the play-by-post roleplay we used to do as kids on the Gamfaqs forums back in the vwry later 90s ans early 2000s.

I love how you have a Gizmodo article linked to this that uses that very pink goop image claiming it to be true.
